Stop Disease 5 Years Early: AI + DNA Playbook With 23andMe's Founder Anne Wojcicki

In this episode of the Silicon Valley Girl Podcast, Marina Mogilko sits down with Anne Wojcicki, co-founder and CEO of 23andMe — the genetic testing company that has helped more than 14 million people understand their ancestry and health risks, and built one of the largest human genetic datasets in the world.After 23andMe went through bankruptcy and Anne lost control of the company she started in 2006, she fought to win it back at a court-approved auction and relaunched it as a nonprofit (TTAM Research Institute) — so no single pharma company would ever own your DNA.In this conversation she breaks down what AI + your DNA can actually do for your health right now: predicting disease years before you feel it, the genetic risk factors everyone should test for, why the healthcare system is built to treat disease instead of preventing it, and the small daily habits that move the needle most.She also opens up about the hardest year of her life — losing her sister, former YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, to lung cancer, going through bankruptcy, and why she refused to walk away. Plus: raising kids as a founder, having a baby at 45, co-parenting with her ex-husband Sergey Brin, and the single smartest thing you can do for your body in 2026.
